The best thing about these patterns? They're all easy to knit, so you could give one a go as your first project. Plus, you can customise them however you like, using different types of yarn and colour palettes.

If you want to make something for the children to play with, we've got knitting patterns for some delightful knitted soft toys such as Little Charley Bear and favourite character, Hello Kitty.

If you've got a friend who's having a baby, our knitting patterns for baby gifts are a lovely present that will be cherished forever. Try our gorgeous baby booties knitting pattern.

And last but not least, you could also try out our free knitting patterns for some gorgeous gifts for your friends, try a knitted drawstring bag for keeping bits and bobs, or a lovely knitted beach bag in time for their next holiday.
